This question doesn't really make much sense as stated, so I'm going to have to take a stab at figuring out what you really meant:

The attractive forces between molecules are strongest in the solid phase and weakest in the gas phase.


The NATURE of the attractive forces depends on what the actual particles are, so you'd need to provide additional information in order for us to answer.

What is it called when aliquid changes to a gas?

The process of a liquid changing into a gas is called vaporization or evaporation. This occurs when the molecules of the liquid gain enough energy to overcome the attractive forces holding them together in liquid form.


Does a liquid turn into gas when the particles get colder?

No, a liquid turns into gas when the particles gain enough energy to overcome the attractive forces holding them together. Cooling a liquid would actually slow down the particles, making it harder for them to escape into the gas phase.


What has to be overcome for a solid to change to a liquid and a liquid to a gas?

The energy between particles. The particles must be heated so that there is no forces of attraction, therefore the solids particles can loosen into liquid particles and the liquids particles can loosen into gas, the heat energy is used to make the particles move faster


Does intermolecular force change from solid to liquid or liquid to gas?

Yes, the intermolecular forces generally change as a substance transitions from solid to liquid to gas. In solid form, molecules are held together by strong intermolecular forces. In liquid form, these forces weaken to allow molecules to move more freely. In gas form, intermolecular forces are weakest as molecules are far apart and move independently.


What is the correct order of states from least to greatest intermolecular forces of attraction?

The correct order is: gas < liquid < solid. This is because in the gas phase, molecules are far apart and have weak intermolecular forces, in the liquid phase, molecules are closer together with moderate intermolecular forces, and in the solid phase, molecules are tightly packed with strong intermolecular forces.


Is wool a solid liquid or a gas?

Solid


How do you decide whether a sample of matter is a solid liquid or gas?

The differences between a solid, liquid and gas are simple! A solid is an object that has a set volume, and is hard to compress. A liquid will take the shape of its container, but is hard to compress. A gas will take the shape of its container, and is easy to compress.


Why solid do not flow as liquid and gases do?

Because their intermolecular forces are very high relative to liquid and gas


What are 3 phase changes of exothermic?

Solid to liquid (melting): This phase change requires energy to break the intermolecular forces holding the solid together, resulting in an endothermic process. Liquid to gas (vaporization): This phase change requires energy to overcome the intermolecular forces between liquid molecules, also an endothermic process. Gas to liquid (condensation): This phase change releases energy as gas molecules lose kinetic energy, forming stronger intermolecular forces in the liquid phase, and is an exothermic process.


Does it gain or lose energy when a solid melts?

When a solid melts, it gains energy in the form of heat because energy is required to break the intermolecular forces holding the solid together. This energy goes into overcoming these forces, allowing the solid to transition to a liquid state.
